Robert Louis Stevenson: Seven Novels (Leather-bound Classics)

I bought several leather-bound books from this publisher for my husband for Christmas, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The paper caliper is better than I expected, given the length of the books (most including multiple novels by the author), and the very reasonable price. Binding is strong and all pages seem securely attached. Typeface is very legible, print is about 11pt, making it easy to read. I can't speak to durability as they were just purchased, but I absolutely recommend this book and others from the same publisher if you're looking for a quality item for a reasonable price.

It is with great delight and unbridled enthusiasm that I recount the acquisition of a most splendid volume containing seven cherished novels. This tome, a veritable treasure trove of adventure and intrigue, is a marvel to behold, binding together tales that traverse the vast expanse of human experience and the untamed frontiers of imagination. Within these pages, one will embark upon voyages to mysterious islands, confront dastardly pirates, and delve into the enigmatic duality of human nature. Each novel, carefully crafted, unfolds with a richness and depth that captures the essence of the times and places it portrays. The stories of 'Treasure Island,' 'Kidnapped,' and 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,' to name but a few, are rendered in all their original glory, inviting readers into worlds where courage, treachery, and wonder intermingle. The quality of this edition is exceptional, from the sturdy binding that promises longevity to the fine print that enhances readability. It is a compilation worthy of the most discerning collector, offering not merely a reading experience but an immersion into the realms of high adventure and profound reflection. In summation, this collection is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the boundless horizons of human creativity. Five hearty cheers for this magnificent volume that preserves and celebrates the legacy of these timeless narratives.

Treasure Island (1883), Prince Otto (1885), Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde (1886), Kidnapped (1886), The Black Arrow (1888), The Master Of Ballantrae (1889), David Balfour (1893) . . . . . . . . . This is without doubt the finest collection of Robert Louis Stevenson novels, all neatly gathered together into one single volume! The seven titles that are contained within this Canterbury Classics special edition are his best-selling and most popular works of literature ever produced! During that time period between 1883 and 1893, came the golden period where Robert Louis Stevenson created some of the most memorable adventures of the late Victorian era! This premium hardback book comes with an exquisitely designed front cover, superb quality pages with gilt edging, several beautifully printed illustrations throughout the book and a silk ribbon marker. For those who love the works of Robert Louis Stevenson, this book is a real treat to whoever owns it - a priceless gem that will provide several hours of great enjoyment and last for many years to come . . . . . . I, Tony Strawson, rate this book with five stars because it ticks all the requirements one would expect in this Canterbury Classics edition!!!

Beautiful Book, Fair Price! Delivered safely! What more can I ask?

Sadly, over the years I've lost many of the books I've treasured. So, I was quite happy to find this set of classic stories that have taken me back to some wonderful adventures through storytelling. Though Stevenson's works were sometimes called 'boy fiction', the stories told of captivating tales that inspired my young imagination, leading me to a desire of exploring the world around me. All these years later, I am once again finding myself enthralled in journeys of the imagination and heart in magical settings where only my mind can take me. I recommend these timeless stories any day.
